Help wanted for the Equestrian Creed! · 6:12pm Aug 2nd, 2012
I'm working on a draft of "The Equestrian Creed". This is what I have so far:
The Equestrian Creed
I am an Equestrian citizen.
I live each day in the service to the Princesses and in service to others.
I shall treat everypony as family, regardless of relation.
I will act as an ambassador to the Princesses in all I say and do.
I will conduct myself to bring credit to myself, my Princesses, and to our nation.
In all things, I will love and tolerate.
* *updated below* *
In all things, I will strive to embody the Elements of Harmony.
In times of darkness, Laughter will light my way.
In times of need, I am Generous with all I have.
I will meet spite with Kindness, as an act of Kindness begets the same.
To my Princesses and my family, I will always be Loyal.
I will embody Honesty in all I say and do, and I will live the virtues of honor and integrity.
Whether I be a Unicorn, Earth Pony, or Pegasus; I will share the Magic of Friendship.
I vow to uphold this Creed and live its virtues for all my days,
As a member of the United Equestrian Nation,
Under the Princesses in whom we trust,
Indivisible, with Love and Tolerance for all.
Suggestions/ additions? Comment below.
I've tagged "A Dream" because this is directly related to the story, and you WILL see this in the next chapter.
It seems fine as is; it smells strongly of nationalism and seems hopelessly ideological like any other country's that very few ever actually takes to heart.
(translation)
Looks good
Its so good I cant think of a comment.

Whether or not it is abided by is another story entirely, though.
True, but isn't that the point of a Creed? To act as rally cry, an inspiration to the cause, as well as a set of guidelines to upholed the virtues for which the cause stands?

I'm glad it has that effect...I may have inadvertantly motivated myself while writing it...

Indeed. I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out.
*Instantly thinks about how the Air force Honor code would make a great addition, if it didn't involve not tolerating people*
